Answers:
1. Teenagers in this generation are more giving time and care about technology than other stuff.
Every teenager must likely to be in Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. Social media platforms have
given us the tools and means to re-connect with people we went to school. Some of them
werent even really close friends at the time, but via social media, and through the passage of
time, we connect in new and interesting ways. That maybe teenagers may less appreciate
ethnological artworks but if I were suggest practical solutions to elevate awareness: I would like
to suggest an application for smartphones that promotes Philippine Arts and Culture, this may
help young people today figure out how beautiful ethnological artwork is. It may also increase
visitation in National Museum to see in person their favourite artworks seen from the app.

2. Art Appreciation to
a) Personal Concern Art brings beauty into our world. Art is important because it makes
our world a better place. It also brings a sense of enjoyment and pleasure. Art allows for
the expression of truth and beliefs. Some art challenges our beliefs. Other works affirm
our faith. Art is an important tool in causing us to examine our beliefs in light of an
artists' rendition or perception of truth.
b) Respective Course Art Appreciation is the knowledge and understanding of the
universal and timeless qualities that identify all great art. The more you appreciate and
understand the art of different eras, movements, styles and techniques, the better you
can develop, evaluate and improve your own artwork.
c) As citizen of the country Arts and Culture are important because it preserves our
heritage, that it gives a medium for artistic expression, that for some it provides an
escape from crime, and so on. From traditional song and dance to modern music and
film. Arts and Culture as a mixture of our history and our identity in todays world.

3. It defines our humanity. Art is what makes technology possible, for we seek a means to bring
those abstract thoughts to life. It turned our communications into words, then philosophy then
law. Everything goes back to art. It permeates every single aspect of our daily lives. Architecture
and the built environment, literature and the written word, song, dance, the clothes we wear,
the design of every single product ever made, food, decoration, basically what it means to be
human.
